both of them are immortal, they’ve been married for 600 years, they’re just as in love as the first time they got together, they plant an entire island full of flowers and name species after each other
It frightens me and says a lot about Texas that we have a local bar called Mable Peabody’s Beauty Parlor And Chainsaw Repair Shop and I didn’t even realize it was a bar with a funny name until I looked the place up.
I just accepted the existence of a combination beauty parlor and chainsaw repair shop, because of course that sort of thing exists in our great state.
Texas is its own special liminal space on its own plane of existence.
I picked up what I thought was a stray on the side of the road last night and it turns out you’re a werewolf. Um. Can I offer your some pancakes?
Hi there I know I don’t know you but I live downstairs and I can hear you through the ceiling every time you play with your dog and his squeaky toy. And frankly, it sounds AMAZING. Can I come in?
I work at the butcher shop and we’ve never spoken but I recognize you from when you come in to buy fresh meat every month. I don’t mind keeping the store open a little past closing since you’re running late and seem kind of desperate. This may be weird to mention, but did you know your teeth are getting sharper while we talk?
I know the sign says no shoes no shirt no service but I just had the WEIRDEST night and your shop is the only building with lights on this early and I’m really, really hoping you have some spare clothes behind the counter. Help?
My dog goes nuts every time she sees you and this time she got off the leash and tore after you, except now you’re both barking at each other and I’m not sure what to do.
You look REALLY familiar and I think it might be because of the feral dog I’ve been feeding a couple nights a month and oh shoot you caught me staring and you’re coming this way.
I’m really, really sorry I accidentally bit you during that kissing game at the party last night, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I THINK YOU’RE REALLY CUTE. But, uh. I have some stuff I should tell you?
I’m a wildlife biologist and I got called out to do radio tagging and release because a coyote trapper accidentally caught a wolf except I am PRETTY SURE you are not a wolf.
Sorry I treed your cat, it was kind of an uncontrollable impulse. I’m pretty strong and good at jumping, though. Should I go up and get her down?
Help my car broke down outside your place and it’s almost the full moon and I’m not saying I’m freaking out but do you happen to have handcuffs and how do you feel about using them on strangers.
aka I want every single one of these for Jade Harley
i’m doing these ancestors redesigns and rosa ended up looking like a grimdark retelling of the first christmas as a weird slasher/action movie, which i guess is pretty accurate
come to the nativity in the next 30 minutes for an ass kicking
reminder that rose is a deadly ass bitch since she was 13????
Okay but can we talk about the ogre thing for a second?
We saw John do a lot of strifing in the early acts, through both “strife” flash’s and panels.
John was not only knocked out by a single imp, twice, which took him THREE TRIES to defeat,
John couldn’t take down an Ogre on his own, even with a pretty powerfully prototyped weapon. In order for John to take down an ogre (which took him two tries, again, getting knocked out repeatedly) he required assistance from both Nanasprite and Rose.
Rose took down an ogre in the span of two panels. With zero weapon prototyping and zero assistance from anyone. Not to mention, the underlings John fought were only 1x prototyped. The ones Rose fought were 2x prototyped, and arguably more powerful.
Rose was fucking badass.
ok but remember this?
rose lalonde has been like this since early childhood. rose lalonde is fucking vicious. she has dirk’s natural inclination to Fight Everything, combined with roxy’s fighting reflexes and supreme guile. rose lalonde has absolutely been waiting on tenterhooks for the day where she can beat the everloving shit out of something without legal consequences.
